He said that he did not be- ' lieve the errors were made with ^ criminal iatent. * Mr. Cunningham gave some 8 damaging testimony against Neal. * He said that J. Q. Hammond, Cooley and Fowler and J. Fretwoll appeared on the books as ( owing sums of about #700 but j1 that thoy claimed to have paid ^ Col. Neal. 1 Mr. Fowler n'?u a witness and:* produced a draft drawn on him by i Neal for #500 which had been j 1 paid. J. B. Watson, of Anderson,; gave a check for #2,600 to pay a * note, but the check was held up ^ by Watson, though the note was 1 taken up by the check. W. W. Russell, brother-in law ' of Neal, owes $500. The board ^ knew nothing about these notea 8 until recently. There is no 1 record of them in the penitentiary. c DAMAOINO FACTS WROUGHT OUT THURSDAY?NF.AL, EXPLAINS. Columbia, S. C., March 9.? . The penitentiary investigation to- t day developed material evidence, j J. B. E. Watson swore that on j March 2, 1806, he signed a con- c tract with the penitentiary for \ thirty convicts. On the same day e ho contracted with W. A Neal for ^ the restoration of his plantation c to Neal for fourteen thousand \ dollars, to bo paid for in two thousand dollars installments, , with interest. fl Neal uud Watson had a private j contract that the convicts wore to N bo puid for and used entirely by Neal. The State has not received any pay whatever for convicts under '96, '97,and '98, although the '96 j and '97 accounts are credited as ^ being paid. They are really paid j with notes discounted by the en- ^ dorsement of W. A. Neal, super- . intendent. The notes were made b\ the two Ragsdale, foremen of , the farms, and were discounted ^ without any knowledge or coa 5 1 sont of the penitentiary nianage1 nient. The notes average two j thousand dollars each. The 'OS account is open. Wat-1 Hon bays he matle the labor cou-jl tract with full assurances that L Neal would make the settlements i and believed that he had done ao. In 1896 Neal being sick, Watson sold tho crop and after taking out his annual payment got a receipt from Neal for $i,4G5 which was supposed to go to settle the convict hire. It was never so used. Thare is a good deal on these lines. J. J. Fretwell sent a re- L ceipt for $350 for oatw paid laat April wliich money the penitentiary has not received. Contractor Fowler ehowed draft for $500 made on him by Neal, which was paid, and the penitentiary baa received none of kt. v tiiia. i 1 ? W. Q. Hammond paid hia ac? mint for $850 by ten day draft hich was paid. Hammond's $800 and Fowler's 500 were deposited on the same ay?$812 of this was credited to he two accounts at the penitentiay and $530 to Col. Neal's peronal account. At the afternoon session Col. n'cal said that when he left Anerson he owed Watson $0,000 on Qstulluients and tried to pay it tack. Kagsdale, the farm fore nan, became dissatisfied, and the ontract by which he again a^suuid charge of the farm was to paciy Kagsdale. lie, Neal, said thit ie owed tljc penitentiary for the hree year n convict laoor. lie aid that he had made Watson layments of about $6,000 on the 114,000 debt and that the only eason he had not paid anything >n the convict account was that he farm had not made it, but that ie was still liable to Watson for he convict hire, and Watson to ho Stute under his contract. The Ragsdale's whose notes vere discounted with his endorsenent as superintendent, to pay he accounts on the penitentiary looks had no responsibility. The $1,400 receipt, lie said, was for oney ho had paid out in Anderon^for farm expenses and he nildly intimated that he did not mow how it was signed W A Neal, mperintendent, but he did not dely it. Before taking a recess the one )ther item touched upon was the Fowler draft for $500 which was )aid in 1895. He said that he iad received this money and had il&ced it to his personal account ind used it for expenses. He had icriodical settlements with the lenitentiary as to these items of sxpeuse, travelling and otherwise, mt that he had had no settlement ince this payment was made. herefore there was no record or :redit of this on the penitentiary >ooks. The investigation will be resuned tomorrow and it is likely that l recess will be taken so that an nvestigation can be made on priate lines. A Priest Dies of Smallpox. Dallas, Texas, March 7. ?
